Mutt

Feña, a young trans guy living in New York, cut most emotional ties from his past after transitioning. But over one long and chaotic day, the ghosts of his previous life come knocking. First, he runs into his high school boyfriend, and then he receives an impromptu visit from his younger sister. Feña also discovers that his father is trying to get in touch with him. As his past collides with his present, Feña must juggle the emotional needs of those he thought he had left behind while staying true to himself.

Injecting a touch of the cinematic into the everyday, this gorgeously shot, thoroughly engrossing character study marks a striking debut from writer/director Vuk Lungulov-Klotz, who drew on personal experience when writing the screenplay. This authenticity is perfectly matched by the sensational Lío Mehiel, who truly inhabits the role of Feña with a quietly commanding performance.
